about the Holocaust to millions of people across
the nation,” said Charisse R. Lillie, president of the
Comcast Foundation, to the Wall Street Journal . “By
leveraging our technology and platforms, we are able
to help the Institute continue their mission of raising
awareness and educating people about overcoming
prejudice, intolerance and bigotry.”
Beginning April 8, Comcast will broadcast
award-winning films and other features relating to
the Holocaust provided by the Shoah Foundation, an
organization dedicated to collecting and preserving
the testimonies of survivors and other witnesses of
the Holocaust. These features will be available at no

From April 2-5, the USC
Thornton School of Music, as well as
representatives from leading music
institutions, met in Sydney, Australia
for the inaugural Asia-Pacific Music
Summit.
The two institutions representing
the United States were the Thornton
School of Music and the San Francisco
Conservatory of Music. The goal of the
summit was to create closer ties between
musical institutions in the Pacific
Region, as well as advance the area as
a driving force of music education and
culture.
“I could not be more pleased to be
able to spend quality time with these
Pacific Rim music leaders,” said Robert
Cutietta, dean of the Thornton School.
“Our discussions about the future of
classical music, and music in general,
have been very stimulating.”
The Sydney Conservatorium of
Music at the University of Sydney and
Beijing Central Conservatory of Music
hosted the summit. Over the course
of four days, leaders discussed course
programs, student exchanges, industry
collaborations, funding models and
performance platforms.
The inaugural conference served as
the first time that deans and presidents
gathered from the schools participating
in the conference in the Pacific Rim
region.
Sydney Conservatorium of Music
Dean Karl Kramer described the
conference as a “unique” opportunity to
utilize the distinctive traits of multiple
premier music institutions.
“While we all assume the Western
music tradition of teaching, each
institution is mutually exclusive in
terms of how it operates,” Kramer said.
“We are 12 unique case studies, each
with different expertise to share. The
summit is a starting point to forming
stronger human connections between
the institutions to encourage greater
and more regular dialogue across the
region.”
A result of the conference was the
establishing of the Pacific Alliance
of Music Schools by representatives
in attendance. The newly formed
PAMS consists of pre-eminent music
institutions from Australia, China,
Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand,
Singapore, Taiwan and the United States.
During the summit, the participants
also solidified their commitment to an
annual convention hosted by a member
of PAMS.
“This inaugural conference is an
outstanding beginning to an important
alliance of the finest music schools
on the Pacific Rim,” said David H.
Stull, president of the San Francisco
Conservatory of Music. “Global
interchange is the future of music
and education. I am tremendously
enthusiastic about the potential of this
initiative.”
